Or would you have preferred average football over the last 4 years?
Normally, we think of that in the abstract, but here is a real life example of it. What's your feelings on it?

Well, last year was the first year of actual tanking. Before that the Bears were bad and actually trying. One of the issues they previously had in hiring a competent GM was the McCaskyes wouldn't let anyone rebuild. Ballard specifically didn't take the job because of that.
